CLOSER by Patrick Marber
Powderkeg Players proudly presents Closer by Patrick Marber, hitting the stage this September
A quartet of strangers meet, fall in love, and become caught up in a web of sexual desire and betrayal.
Alice is so authentically herself. Larry is incapable of vulnerability. Dan uses other people’s flaws to distract from his own, and Anna is set on contorting herself into everyone else’s idea of who she should be.
Closer is a play which views love and sex like politics: its not what you say that matters, still less what you mean, but what you do. A brilliant exploration into the brutal anatomy of modern romance.
Set in contemporary London, Closer follows the intertwining lives of four characters—Dan, Alice, Anna, and Larry whose paths cross and re-cross as they navigate the complexities of love, lust, and deception. ‘Closer’ takes a cynical and painfully accurate look at relationships. Both romantic comedy and brutal analysis of modern love, it is a play about the kindness of strangers and the cruelty of desire.
